Does anyone have an idea of the year of this frige? In addition to what this frige would sell for? also do the older friges use a lot of energy? I thank you in advance. |

I'll take a guess and say 1980 or maybe older.
In 1985 -86 I was living in a household that had a similar Fridgidaire, but without the metal trim around the door edges. Along with having three doors, which sacrifices some freezer space, it also consistently took three tries before the compressor would kick in. We weren't sorry to see it go when we remodeled our kitchen.
Relative to a modern day refrigerator of the same size, this one would be considered an energy hog. I can't see paying more than $100 for it -- if it's working properly. |

... mid- to late-70s to me. That era was big on the faux wood trim. |

If it is frost free its going to use more energy, the old fridges from the 50s and 60s that you defrost are economical to run, and keep food much better. |

For $94, it will take a long time for your top-of-the-line fridge to use enough energy to make up the difference between the cost of its brand new equivalent today. If it's clean and it works well, you got a good deal.
If it has coils on the bottom instead of on the back, be sure to remove the front grille and vacuum them once or twice a year to keep the system running at its most efficient level. |
